Objective

To demonstrate the use of Vagrant VM as a local infra simulation and deploying a simple static HTML page on it, using apache2 server.

Prerequisites

• Oracle VM Virtual Box: Tool for creating Virtual Machines

• 192.168.56.1/24 Network Setup: Host-Only Virtual Box Network

• Vagrant: Tool for creating VMs using code

• Git: Version Control System

3-Step Demonstration

1. Clone https://github.com/d4rkr0n1n/one-click-local-infra.

2. Run command vagrant up --provision-with setup_system,copy_html_file,setup_webserver.

3. Site will be live on http://192.168.56.10/

Process Flow

After cloning one-click-local-infra repo from GitHub, there are two folders in it.

1. infra

2. web

infra folder: contains the code and scripts required to create Virtual Machine named “webserver“.

web folder: contains a template html file to be displayed after successful setup of local infra and apache2 webserver.

So, when we run vagrant up --provision-with setup_system,copy_html_file,setup_webserver, what happens is:

1. Creation of VM “webserver“ of 2-core CPU and 2048 MB RAM.

2. Assign a static ip 192.168.56.10 to the VM (Requires an already setup host only network, mentioned in prerequisites).

3. A script to update and upgrade system is executed.

4. index.html (template file) is moved to VM from Host system at /tmp directory.

5. A script to install and setup apache2 package is executed followed by copying the index.html file to /var/www/html.

6. In command, the keyword --provision-with is followed by 3 arguments, these 3 arguments represent steps 3,4 and 5 respectively.

7. The command takes approximately 1.5 min.

8. After the command is executed successfully, the webpage is visible at http://192.168.56.10/
